View Full Version : KTM cup maniac.
I don't know if I ever posted this picture before. I saw it on Thumpertalk one day. I believe it was in Washington. It's one of those cute little guys that ride around the SX tracks during intermissions at the AMA SX races. This kid was busting a big 30+ foot jump every lap. The crowd was just going nuts from the reports I heard. I wonder if his mom and dad were freaking, I would've been. I know those little bikes aren't made to leap like that. Good thing it didn't bust in half like David Pingrees KTM SX125 last year in Phoenix.
Oh yah, he won the KTM cup BTW.

That is simply insane!! I freak out when my son gets just a little air on his KTM mini. You have to admit that kid is Talented. But I agree with El Gato about busting up the bike. Frank
Daaaaaaaaammmn![:0] That will be amazing to see what he would do in 10 years,[:0] if he lives that long.

that is amazing...from the picture, it doesn't look like he will make it far enough [:0]

I was thinking the same thing, but him and the bike are so light he probably flew over the landing ramp with no problem. That reminds me of the comment Matt Murphy made to me one time when I asked him why he sold his KX500. He said "I'm like a kite on that thing".

Matt Murphy was a crazy fast rider from what I heard.
